The 'other' 3 Australian golfers on Maui besides Day

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) -- The winners-only field at Kapalua features four Australians, which is not unusual.

It's who they are.

''Yeah, Jason, I'm surprised he's in here,'' Rod Pampling said with a laugh.

Jason Day, the No. 1 player in the world, might be the only Aussie in the SBS Tournament of Champions that anyone recognizes.

Pampling has been to Kapalua twice before, though it had been 10 years. He won the Bay Hill Invitational in 2006 for his second PGA Tour victory. The longer he stayed away, the more he had reason to wonder if he would ever get back.
